KickStarter: The MiStand+ is an Aluminium Tablet Stand
I’ve using a MiStand Tablet Stand for just over a year now, and I always been mightily impressed by its ease of use, sturdiness, and resistance to life’s bumps and knocks. My only complaint was that charging the tablet on the MiStand was a little messy because the base didn’t have a cable slot to pass a charging cable through. That won’t be a problem for much longer though, because MiStand is running a KickStarter campaign for a new, improved tablet stand called the MiStand+ that allows a charging cable to be slotted through the base.
Along with the cable slot in the base, the MiStand+ has been tweaked elsewhere, with a 33% stronger magnetic ball-joint to work with even the heaviest tablets. To be fair to my MiStand, I’ve even had a Chromebook attached to it a few times with zero slippage, so this new magnetic ball-joint must be something to behold.
Other tweaks include new polyurethane pads that are stickier than the old micro-suction pads. These new polyurethane pads will stick to a tablet regardless of whether it has a protective case on or not. The pads can also be rinsed clean with warm water once in a while to maintain stickiness. The MiStand+ can be had in silver, space grey or black. Finally, it’s compatible with any tablet, even the fruity ones.
So, it looks great, how much is it? Well, you can back the MiStand+ on its KickStarter campaign with the following rewards:
Exclusive Early Bird: £28All Gone!- Exclusive Not Quite So Early Bird: £28 ($43)
- Solo MiStand+:£32 ($50)
- Exclusive Duo Early Bird (2 x MiStand+): £55* ($85)
- 5 MiStand+’s: £138* ($213)
- 10 MiStand+’s: £270* ($418)
*Includes free shipping to USA, Canada and European Union.
The MiStand+ goal was to raise £5000, but it has already managed to get £15,000 in backing in its first two days on KickStarter. It’s first stretch goal of 350 backers has already been achieved, which means that the MiStand Mini (for phones) will return, probably with some tweaks of its own. The next stretch goal is to raise £20,000 which will unlock a gold variant of the MiStand+. The MiStand+ KickStarter campaign has another 33 days left to run with production scheduled to begin in October and shipping in November.
